Re: #LaTechLegends

Been off and on about the damn 49ers--off when they play Saints- on when they have Tech guys ( Tim-QP and now Trent)-who was the db from tech? can live with Denver and of course now follow Ravens . So far things have not fallen into place for QP--hope it will turn around for him and Myles White came SO close to making an NFL career. all those I follow but Paul Turner is one that can go either way ...

Re: #LaTechLegends

The darkhorse is Adairius Barnes, who surprised many by making the roster as an undrafted rookie last season. Praised by coaches and teammates for his quick first step, he’ll need to make a few more plays this camp and preseason if he wants to stand out in the crowded competition.

Henderson, who has struggled early in training camp, has looked better in pads, Cecil Lammey of Sportsradio 104.3 The Fan reports.

It should be no surprise that Henderson, described by many as a receiver with running back traits, is dealing with some growing pains early in his career. In college, he was asked by Louisiana Tech coaches to run a select few routes and physically dominate opponents with his speed and tackle-breaking ability. That likely won't fly as well in the pros, but the more contact Denver adds to practice the more opportunities Henderson will have to remind the team's front office why they selected him in the third round. In the short term, Henderson is likely to stay behind Bennie Fowler and fellow rookie Isaiah McKenzie on the depth chart, contributing primarily as a kick returner and in packages that allow him to mimic what he did in college.

The Redskins placed OLB Houston Bates on the PUP list yesterday, and waived him with a failed physical designation today. Bates has been with the Redskins since he was signed as an UDFA after the 2015 NFL draft. He has been used mainly on special teams, but has seen some time on the field with the defense as a backup in the 24 games he appeared in for Washington. Bates tore his ACL last December. Jay Gruden said today that he need time to get himself right, and he could be back with the team

“We have the same agent, and my agent told me that [the Raiders] were going to work him out, and I know what type of player he is,” said Ellis who played with Enemkpali at Louisiana Tech. “I know his knee is healthy; they worked him out, and I knew they would like him.”

The drafting of Dawkins seemed to signify to many that the Bills were looking to replace Mills at right tackle. However, the veteran has put in the effort, and shown that Dawkins will have to take the starting spot from him in training camp.

Many NFL defensive backs can hit, but what impresses me about Brice is he does it consistently in an appropriate manner. There’s no malicious intentions in his playstyle. It’s all business – tough business.

He's reportedly taken a huge step in terms of his traditional safety ability over the off-season according to several of his teammates as well as members of the coaching staff. One of them being head coach Mike McCarthy, who had some high praise for the undrafted safety earlier this week.

“McCown appears to compete at a high level. He gave his teammates a chance to win his only start of 2015 season against Carolina. He was outstanding in that game. Moved the team well. This is not a dink-and-dunk quarterback. He is willing to take shots down the field.”

On a good ball from Matt McGloin on a corner route, Paul Turner was simply too slow to track it down. I think Turner is a long shot to make the roster this year after cracking the roster in 2016. He's simply too small and slow to compete with a much better group of receivers than a year ago.

This Oregon native may not be the best punter in the NFL, but he can hold his own with the best of them, which shows by the lack of legitimate competition brought in by the Patriots. Allen is here to stay, and, at just 27 years old, it would not be surprising to see Allen as part of the team for years to come.

Taylor appears to be ahead of the curve and may force his way into the lineup sooner rather than later. If the shifty receiver continues to perform anything like his training camp debut, Faithful can expect a big impact from the compact rookie in 2017.

The absence of Ray and Barrett also expands Vontarrius Dora's role. He impressed last training camp, working from a raw college player used to having his hand in the dirt to a promising pass rusher. He spent 13 weeks on the Broncos' practice squad, and appeared in one game as a rookie.

Re: #LaTechLegends

Kinda surprised about the comments regarding Carlos Henderson. As a 3rd round pick, he shouldn't be relegated to sitting on the pine behind Isaiah McKenzie, a 5-8, 164 lb fly weight, who was taken in the 5th round behind Henderson. McKenzie has already been named "punt returner" for the Bronco's for 2017.

I skipped over some of the early practice reports, where Henderson initially shined but started to fall behind, Im not sure why. I think he's starting to pick back up though. The NFL is a big transition.
